Any credit cards giving extra miles when paying taxes?

<p>Has anyone come across a double mile (or any) promotion from an airline branded credit card for paying income taxes? I know it is sometimes not a good idea due to convenience fees, but I just want to know if any offers are out there. Thank you. </p>

You can do this w Amex but you pay 3% TO THE IRS to do it, If you pay high taxes it becomes very expensive. I think you should save your money and buy a first class ticklet instead!
